Mastering Node.js Web Development: Go on a comprehensive journey from the fundamentals to advanced web development with Node.js
Unlock the full potential of Node.js with practical skills to develop and deploy scalable and high-performance server-side applications that enhance your client-side projects
Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook
Key FeaturesServer-side applications with Node.js, covering HTTP requests, static and dynamic content delivery, form data processing, and RESTful web servicesHands-on examples, step-by-step code listings, and best practices for building and deploying server applicationsCommon services like authentication, managing application state, and performance optimizationBook DescriptionDive into the world of Node.js with this comprehensive guide, taking you from foundational concepts to practical web development mastery. Written by an industry veteran with over 50 programming books under his belt, this book will help both beginners and seasoned developers.
Gain a deep understanding of the most important server-side features in web development with Node.js. The first part of the book will get you up to speed with basic features of Node.js and TypeScript. In the second part, you’ll elevate your skills by creating simplified implementations of key server-side features to understand how they work and how they are presented to clients. Armed with the understanding gained from implementing each feature, you will be able to replace custom code with production-ready open-source packages.
The third part will help you understand how server-side features are combined for practical web development. Using Adam Freeman’s signature SportsStore application, you will learn how to develop client and server-side components, culminating in a thorough application deployment preparation.
By the end of this Node.js book, you will be able to build and deploy server applications to support HTTP clients, including JavaScript applications created with frameworks such as Angular and React.

If you're looking to get into Node.Js development, I would highly recommend this book!
It covers tall of the basics making it very beginner friendly and takes the reader on a journey that culminates in the creation of a Sporting goods web store with a database backend, data validation, administration and many more features.

"Mastering Node.js Web Development" by Adam Freeman is a well-structured guide that takes readers on a comprehensive journey through web development with Node.js. The book starts with the fundamentals, introducing key concepts and TypeScript, then moves on to building server-side functionalities, and finally covers complete application development, integrating both client and server components.
One of its main strengths is its practical approach: each concept is accompanied by concrete, detailed examples, making it easier to transition from theory to practice. The book covers a broad range of topics, from handling HTTP requests to creating RESTful APIs, implementing authentication systems, and deploying applications. Freeman’s clear explanations and the book’s progressive structure make it a great resource for learning step by step.
However, the book’s wide scope can also be a limitation. Some topics might be covered too briefly, which could be frustrating for those looking for deeper technical insights. Additionally, as with many technical books, there may be minor inaccuracies in the code, so it's always a good idea to double-check the examples.
Overall, Mastering Node.js Web Development is a valuable resource for anyone looking to develop solid full-stack skills with Node.js. Despite some limitations in depth, its practical and well-structured approach makes it an excellent reference for developers of various experience levels.

I am still digesting this book (at about half of through), but it answered my relatively newbie questions already and I found the most difficult (for me it was the Node's code execution, concurrency model) topics explained so well I am not worried I can embrace the modern NodeJS - based Web development.
I found the most precious the topics on data models, debugging and RESTFULL services ( I am on a data wrangling spree ). The real application example is a real gem - allows to solidify and repeat learn the material.
The harder parts I wish could be easier are the ones on security, Docker and deployment in general.
My advice for a book reader - learn the NPM commands and make helper scripts.
